Description: Illustrated with colour photographs. From the cover: “Fifty years of cricket broadcasts are celebrated in this selection from the BBC archives. David Rayvern Alien has concentrated, not on commentaries, but on talks and discussions which portray cricket in all its forms — from primitive games on islands in the South Seas, through settings of rustic charm in English villages, in India, in the West Indies, to the scientific sophistication of international test cricket.

David RayVern Alien is a producer for BBC Radio. He has written a number of books on cricket, including two anthologies of John Arlott’s broadcasts and writings. No other game stimulates so much literature about it, and this collection is a welcome addition.”
